I've seen countless commercials for this running during the NBA Finals. What are your thoughts on it? Was the first one any good, or is this yet another sequel to a movie that didn't need one? The cast looks halfway decent.

I enjoyed the first one as a "catch one evening on HBO" type of movie. I'll watch the second one in the same manner.

I just don't know how I missed the first one, or at least seeing trailers for it. Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Isla Fisher, even Eisenberg was a bigger name at that point.

I'm sure most on this board will say it sucked. I thought it was very enjoyable

I don't think I've ever seen an unwanted sequel to a bad movie get so many threads before it's even released

I didn't like the first one. It's Ocean's 11 but with magicians. It was incredibly cheesy and acting felt forced at times.

I enjoyed it (the first one) it was a new idea and a overall a fun movie which didn't try and take itself too seriously.

Will probably be worse than the first one, which is really saying something.

I liked the first one until the end. The ending made 0 sense.

I mean, it was outlandish and unrealistic, but how did it not make sense within the story?

i kind of thought it would be self explanatory that the "you guys" was directed to the ones who didn't like it and were shitting on it.
